An excellent little cottage 30metres from the pub which does great food. Easy access to Dovedale, Chatsworth and Bakewell that leads to the High Peaks. Plenty of local walking. I have limited mobility but I found no problem in the cottage. If you have young children there is a playground just over the road and seats in the garden so you can watch them in comfort.
